An X-Ray of my brain since Twilight took over

After seeing the above image of “The Twilight Brain”, I’m starting to feel a lot better about my own brain activity since “Twilight” took it over. I mean, since I haven’t had any brain X-Rays lately, it’s obvy someone else’ brain, which tells me that others are experiencing the same affects that I have ever since this little book series and movies walked into my life a year and a half ago. And honestly, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that was stripped of all other interests and budding skills due to “Twilight”.

Seriously, how could this have happened to me? P.T. (Pre-Twilight), I was learning how to cook! I was watching back to back Saturday morning Food Network episodes of Giada At Home, Cooking for Real, and Barefoot Contessa. I was slaving away over a stove every Sunday night making anything from pork tenderloin and roasted red potatoes to Italian wedding soup from scratch! My favorite TV shows consisted of anything on HGTV because I was all about making my house as cute as freaking possible. And I read books ranging from business to chic lit – but definitely not fantasy. Outside of all that, I was busy being a good little wife and dog mama. Fast forward roughly 545 days and my interests and past times have totally changed.

Post “Twilight”, I haven’t touched the stove, unless you count cleaning it after my husband cooks dinner. I don’t even remember what channel HGTV is on as I’ve traded it for the likes of “True Blood” and “The Vampire Diaries”. And I haven’t read a real book since about July in favor of spending ALL MY FREAKING TIME READING "TWILIGHT" FANFICTION!

Now, I haven’t totally regressed due to “Twilight”. Because of this phenomenon, I started a blog and have found a majah passion for writing and designing my own little world online. And I’ve also become a whiz at social media which has actually come in quite handy at work. All this dovetails into pie in the sky ideas of what I’d like to do with my future in terms of writing, editing, and the like. Because hey, who wants to work for the man their whole life? Not me, I wanna sit in my pj’s all day writing bestselling novels! I don’t wanna sit back and let life happen to me – I wanna make my life happen!! And getting paid to do fun s*** sounds like a good plan to me!

A closer look at The Twilight Brain as compared to mine

Now, going back to the brain scan, I just want to point out a couple areas where the chart is either off or really f****** funny because it’s so true.

The first thing I have to point out is that although “FanFiction Baby” takes a sizable portion of this person’s brain; I actually believe it takes about double that in mine. This is totes crazy because I’ve only been addicted to FanFic for about two months, so what the hellz was there before?

The tiny spec on the chart where it says “Tolerance for people who don’t like Twilight” is entirely too large when it comes to my own brain. I mean seriously people who don’t like “Twilight” – how can you not? Do you not like hot ass men? Do you not like to feel butterflies in your stomach like you did when you were 13? How about gittin’ in the mood ladies – ever need some help with that? Well um... “Twilight” can help…and FanFiction most certainly will!

The giant circle in the middle of the brain that says “ROB PATTINSON NAKED” is true in terms of size, but at the moment, I’d replace Rob Pattinson with TATTWARD! My brain says “TATTWARD NAKED”, because damn it, I’m ready to see Tattward freaking neked in our current fic “Clipped Wings & Inked Armor”! You and I both know that Tattward’s bod is way better than Rob’s bod, c’mon.

“Attention span when it comes to the husband” is just really f****** funny. And it may even be a little smaller in my brain. *JUST KIDDING IN CASE HUSBAND IS READING*

I’d say that about sums it up for me. Everything else is dead on. Some may say my brain has gone to complete mush since reading “Twilight”. But at least it’s hot mush. And I will say this; I’ve never felt more creative and funny, and entertained and entertaining, and hopeful and youthful since being introduced to this little/big world of Twi. Hey, whatever floats your boat, right? Speaking of which; I’ve heard of a FanFic out there where Edward has been dubbed “Sailward”. Hmm….he can float my boat anytime.

Does your brain resemble the “Twilight” brain?

Comment by Lindy Rosa Bella on October 18, 2010 at 6:13am: Even though I am a die-hard...my brain is not as bad as that. The sex part is totally not that big, the fanfiction, I don't have time for, dirty things I want to do to Robward...no. Lol. Rob Pattinson naked....no. Lol. The Rob Pattinson naked part would be ROBSTEN for me, the size of the area that says SEX, would be Edward and Bella. (I'm just fitting in MY brain to the sizes of the areas). The area that says Internet scanning for Rob Pattinson photos....would be ROBSTEN/Edward and Bella scanning. Lol. I'll keep that one, just change it. The part that says Anything to do with the Twilight saga movie...would probably be my radar. I have like this radar in the back of my head because if there is a conversation about Twilight...I'd literally pick it up two rooms away, or my subconscience will send me over there and all of a sudden I'll be listening to a conversation about Twilight. It's really weird. so yeah, that's my Twi-Radar. lol.I'm going to have to sketch this drawing out and figure out the rest. I have to do some editing.

Comment by Child Of The Moon on October 18, 2010 at 6:16am: WOW that looks like scrambled eggs, fortunately my brain is nothing like that or I would walk around drooling and with a lost look on my face, kinda like this:

Comment by Lindy Rosa Bella on October 18, 2010 at 6:29am: Yeah, Twilight turned around my life, too. It just happened so FAST though!!! i was dizzy. I've never had a story like that change my whole life around and open my eyes to what's really important in life and that we can overcome any obstacle like the Cullens or like Edward. It really changed the person I was. It helped my maturity grow and brought me closer to my mom even. Twilight has truly done wonders in my life. But in a good way and in a way that is a mommy-feel-good way. Lol.

Comment by Lindy Rosa Bella on October 18, 2010 at 6:30am: My brain isn't superficial like the one above. Lol. It's more focused on the story of Twilight, not the bodies or abs. Haha.

Comment by Lσνє ѕυcкѕ ♡ (ThisSweetMoment) on October 18, 2010 at 7:14am: Yeah, i know about that photo..i saw it before - and it is SO true! lol

Comment by Ivanna Cullen on October 18, 2010 at 7:29am: I know about the pfoto. It is funny. Twilight changed my life. But also Robert and Kristen in their real life. I love the sory. I've read Harry Potter and Twilight and only Twilight could change my whole been. It was weird. But now I can't imagine myself without Twilight. Without this whole world

Comment by Lina Larsson on October 18, 2010 at 7:58am: My brain isn't that bad, I hope hehe. Twilight changed my life. And it happened fast. It helped me to get trough a hard time in my life when i lost a dear friend. Made me happy, nowadays I'm happy for anything and it's wonderfull. Can't imagine how my life was like 1½year ago..

Comment by Natalia Rose Cullen on October 18, 2010 at 8:12am: I don't think that my brain looks like that...it's not that bad, but yeah, Twilight changed my point of view about some things. A lot. And you know what? I'm glad

Comment by ß.Gomez on October 18, 2010 at 8:44am: That is my brain to a T. Love it

Comment by Shelley Renee McKey on October 18, 2010 at 9:50am: I would replace Rob's name with Taylor's name but the book for me isn't about the sex either it's the connection of their lives and the romance of love that shoudn't never had happen if it wasn't because Edward was a vampire. If he wasn't he would be dead already and Bella wouldn't have fallen for him. I don't know if my brain looks like this one, but it is close without the husband part, but I do daydream alot of about twilight.
